Accidents on our Nation's roadways are a serious threat to the traveling public and are the leading cause of death for those under the age of thirty-four. Annually, over 40,000 people are killed in approximately five million motor vehicle accidents, many involving teen car accidents. In 2002 alone, nearly 43,000 people died in highway accidents nationwide. That equates to over 115 fatalities per day. The economic costs of these accidents is staggering, over $150 billion per year. Unfortunately, during your lifetime you are likely to be involved in at least one auto accident. You should know what to do in order to protect yourself and your legal rights.

Motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable to injury during accidents, especially when an automobile or truck is also involved. Speeding, alcohol or drug use, and disobeying traffic laws on the part of either a rider or the drivers of the vehicles nearby greatly increases the likelihood of a serious accident. When motorcycle accidents occur, the results are often devastating. Victims are often left with serious injuries or permanent disabilities; some do not survive. For the victims and their families, high medical bills often combine with emotional strain to cause additional suffering.
